2 Bears... and not much else.

But no worries folks, for all you need to listen to this week is the new album from The 2 Bears - The Night is Young.

There's albums out today from Jessies J & Ware, Ozzy Osbourne, U2, and others, if that's your bag, but I'll only be listening to The 2 Bears this week. And dancing.

The 2 Bears consist of Joe Goddard, from dad dance band Hot Chip, and producer Raf Rundell, of whom I know very little. Originally there was going to be a third Bear, in Joseph Mount of Metronomy, but I guess there can only be one Bear called Joe. Or something.

In truth, I've had a busy weekend and not managed to look into/listen to this week's releases, but this album, or bits of it, have been up on Soundcloud for a while and it's an instant hit with me.  You know the feeling when you walk into a club* and there's a tune playing, and you just must find out what and who?  Well this is an album of these tunes, there's a bit of rap, a bit of reggae, a bit of African music and lots and lots of dance tunes. Old school dance tunes.

So, if you're having a party, put this on. If not, organise one. If you can't do that, just listen to it wherever and whenever this week and I'll bet you a beer that you won't be able to resist dancing. If anyone is on the Stansted Express this week and you see a middle aged man doing a ridiculous foot tapping shuffle, with a pair of Sennheisers stuck to his head, that will be me. Say hello!








*I think it's 20 years since I walked into a club, but I'm sure things haven't changed that much.
